Dr. Sun-Hui Hung will be playing and discussing the historical context of the erhu, a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, sometimes known in the Western world as the Chinese violin or Chinese two-stringed fiddle, and its role in Chinese classical music composition, poetry and philosophy.
An Excellence Prize Winner of the National Erhu Competition in Taiwan, Dr. Hung has performed throughout Europe and the Americas in many prestigious music venues and in Taiwan’s National Concert Hall and Taiwan National Opera. She has performed as a solo artist in collaboration with many major orchestras, including the Taipei Symphony Orchestra and the National Chinese Opera Company. Formerly she taught composition, musicology, and music theory at the College Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati. Dr. Hung currently resides in the state of Hawaii and has developed a unique style combining the Chinese elements of the erhu with traditional Hawaiian music winning her a recent Na Hoku Hanohano Award from the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts.
This program is produced by the UH Manoa Outreach College’s Statewide Cultural Extension Program (SCEP) with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
The Friends of the Library of Hawaii (FLH) is generously providing funding to host this program during the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge. This program is suitable for all ages.
